Re: What r possible drive systems under these circumstances?
Since I have no experience with the material, or much insight into friction and traction, I will list a brief summary of available options.

Wheels-
2,3,4, and 6 are all possibilities I believe we will be seeing. From what I have been hearing, 6 will be far more popular than past years.

Drive-
Arcade, Tank, swerve, [4wd], [2wd].
Coming from someone who lives in a snow- and ice-plagued area, front wheel drive will probably work better than rear-wheel, with all-wheel being ideal. I would definitely not recommend swerve drive this year.


You are correct that it is more limited than past years, but there are still plenty of options.
